Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has officially lodged a petition with the Ghana Football Association (GFA), expressing concern over persistent verbal attacks directed at him during national team matches.
According to Addo, sections of the media and some supporters have continually targeted him with harsh criticisms and insults, creating a hostile environment that threatens both his focus and the morale of the team. He emphasized that while constructive criticism is part of the job, the personal and aggressive nature of these attacks has gone too far.
In his petition, Addo urged the GFA to intervene and establish measures that will protect the technical team from undue verbal abuse. He further warned that the current atmosphere could affect player performance and derail the collective efforts of the national team as they prepare for crucial international assignments.
The GFA is yet to issue an official response, but the development has already sparked conversations among football stakeholders and fans. Some argue that criticism is part of the game, while others believe coaches and players deserve a more supportive environment to succeed.
Otto Addo, who returned as Black Stars coach to lead the team through upcoming qualifiers, remains committed to his role but insists that fair treatment and respect are essential for progress.
